Chara Kotsali - ΙT'S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE - The Bloom Prize 2027
Lilian Baylis Studio
A dance marathon that traverses the tangled relationship between individual and collective history. The end of the world has not yet come, and certainly not the end of history. Using dance, sound and poetry, Greek choreographer and performer Chara Kotsali grapples with the notion of progress as the most exhausting linear narrative. Searching for an alternative, IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE speaks to a history shaped by revolutions (technological and social) that never fully happened. Three female dancers interact on stage with the past that lies ahead of us and the future we have left behind. They engage in a dance that exhausts their emotional and physical resources. The piece explores the ambivalent relationship that we have with history, both as individuals and as a collective. It is a work about progress as destruction, and about dances of fun, pleasure, and propaganda. Header image description: Three female dancers march, proudly waving flags with their right hands. The flags are white with block text on them, evoking the show title “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE”. The dancers wear casual clothing and perform in front of a metallic curtain.
